The results of the Dutch election, in which Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom emerged as victors, have sent shockwaves through the political establishment.
For the first time in Dutch history, a party of the extreme right is the largest in the national parliament. Wilders is an eccentric politician known for his inflammatory rhetoric. He advocates the Netherlands leaving the European Union and has called Islam a “fascist” religion. In a 2016 trial, he was found guilty of inciting discrimination (but received no penalty for the crime).
While polling leading up the election had suggested that Party for Freedom could become the largest party, it had appeared to be running practically neck and neck with the parties of the mainstream left and right. But the polls were wide of the mark and Wilders ended up taking the most seats by a comfortable margin, even if he will need to seek coalition partners to form a government.

Stupid system....
A Step Closer to Euro-Federalism?
"The European Parliament adopted a report on Wednesday, November 22nd that seeks to amend the treaties of the European Union, liquidating member states’ veto rights, and giving more power to EU institutions. The resolution was accepted by 291 votes, with 274 MEPs voting against it, and 44 abstaining. The vote itself shows how divisive the issue is, and member states don’t seem keen on change either.
As we reported, conservative MEPs called the proposals an attempt “to hijack Europe,” and to create “a dystopian superstate that degrades member countries to the status of regions.”"
The Netherlands, Italy, Hungary, and Argentina are suddenly in the grips of “ eccentric, inflammatory, dangerous, right-wing extremists “.
The criminal, socialist media can’t create enough adjectives to warn the proletariat.
It may be a sign people aren't reading/listening to that crap.
Extreme right?
The world is finally righting itself, …… we’re next!
Here’s hoping!

So how many states joined the EU on the condition that each state has veto power, and so now what?
You are correct. Most of the 113 seats he didn’t win were won by globalist leftists . We don’t know how it will end up.
How is the celebration going?
Normal conservative...
Looks like at least the Extremist climate change agenda will be put on hold in Netherlands.
I do not think you are right on this one.
There are several right wing and center right parties which together are large majority.
Not all like Wilder, but chance of left government there is nil.
Voters across the globe are seeing that GLOBALISTS are not your friends
Good to hear, l’d love to have this wrong. I hope it’s not too late the savages are already in the tent.
Extreme right my ass.
Best news of last night!
yeah he’s so lgbt friendly for years that people thought he’s gay...but he got married recently to dispel that rumor.
“It may be a sign people aren’t reading/listening to that crap. ”
Yep, I think that people all over the world are really sick of the socialist bullshit.
“eccentric, inflammatory, dangerous, right-wing extremists “
Heh... Yeah they forgot pedophile, incestuous, warmongering, slaveowning and jew hating... But then they would have been describing themselves too much.
